Peace and Conflict Resolution Foundation (PCR FOUNDATION)

PCR Foundation is a NGO founded in 2006 that focuses on peace education, trauma healing, councelling and humanitarian assistance.

Created in 2006, PCR foundation focuses on peace education, trauma healing, counceling and humanitarian assistance. It deals with conflict at several levels (e.g. the reconciliation of broken families, helping young single mothers, restoring broken relationships as a result of conflict and war) and in general how affected populations can move on from trauma to a future life.

  • Trauma healing for young single mothers that are victims of war

  • Right to Education for all Children We are looking for donors for sponsoring a child’s education especially those from displaced families and slums areas.

  • Humanitarian assistance to vulnerable youth that are victims of war and in particular that have suffered sexual abuse. We provide training in relation to self-sustainable projects.

Below you can find a video about PCR’s work and why it focuses on women in particular.
